Plenty of pace from the outset with Easy Girl and Kindra Park leading the charge. FLOREY (4) was a barnstorming maiden winner here on debut before heading straight to the paddock. Hasn't been seen at any public trials in readiness but is a likely improver that deserves strong consideration. OPPORTUNE CHANCE (7) closed off nicely to just miss the winner here last start. Drops back to a sprinting trip off a 51-day freshen and can cause a late scare if they overdo it early. KINDRA PARK (6) should take advantage of his low draw and can give backers a bold sight with no fitness issues. TOUGH TALK (3) was an impressive winner on debut. Nowhere near as effective last start in town but will find this easier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Florey.
